HYBRID SWEET CORN 
WILT RESISTANT HYBRIDS 
One of the most successful and in¬ 
teresting plant breeding achievements 
of recent years is the production of 
hybrid sweet corns that actually yield 
25% to over 100% more than the old 
favorites, and that are amazingly uni¬ 
form and of wonderful quality. 
Plant breeders have learned that by 
artificially inbreeding strains of corn 
for some years, then crossing them by 
controlled pollination, they usually 
get in the first crop remarkable 
“hybrid vigor” and also always the 
same definite and uniform character¬ 
istics.
